In a rivalry that has been big "since (North Andover head coach Courtney Breen) was in high school," Manchester-Essex handed North Andover its first loss of the year, 2-0. After the Hornets struck for two goals in the first six minutes of play, Steph Twomey turned aside a first-half penalty stroke and Meg Foster played a shutout second half in net for the Scarlet Knights (7-1-2). Amanda Foote was a bright light for North Andover as were forwards Alie Moen and Michelle Martin.

 Alie Moen converted a Sarah Warden cross with three minutes remaining to give the North Andover field hockey team (6-0-2) a 1-0 win over upset-minded Georgetown. Nikkie Perakis was immense for the Royals (2-4-2) with "at least 25 saves,'' according to Knights coach Courtney Breen.

According to North Andover head coach Courtney Breen, Amesbury's goalie subdued a persistent offense with a staggering 30 saves.

Senior Allie Moen and her sister Gabby (2), a junior, combined for three goals to lift North Andover over Pentucket, 5-2. Knights' sophomore Michelle Martin scored her first two varsity goals.
